Chain Hanger Bracket for I-Beam Frame for Weight Distribution

Question

Question:

Hi. I am looking for a weight distribution hitch system but, I cant find one that will work with my trailer. All of the one I look at are made for a c-channel trailer tongue with about a 2inch lip. My trailer tongue has an I-beam frame that is 4inch wide across the top. Do they make any systems or replacement lift brackets similar to RP6637 that will span the 4inch frame instead of the 2inch -2 1/2inch standard frame width? Thanks for any info you can provide.
